NYC Restaurants Doing Last-Minute Mother’s Day Specials

Mother’s Day isn’t just an excuse to shower your mom with food and gifts, but it’s also not not about showering your mom with food and gifts. And as one of the best brunch-related holidays of the year, it’s important to make sure everything from mimosas to hearty stacks of pancakes are covered on Sunday. But don’t panic if Mother’s Day has snuck up on you this year, because all these restaurants are still offering brunch specials and takeout options you can reserve in time for the weekend. From pastel-colored bagels to a hip-hop brunch complete with a lineup of female DJs, here are the best last-minute options for celebrating Mother’s Day in 2021.

The Spots

Edy’s Grocer is a Lebanese deli, but you don’t have to be low on hummus or muhammara to love this Greenpoint spot. You’ll find a bunch of different Middle Eastern and Polish comfort foods here, like kale pesto grilled cheese, potato leek soup, pierogi, and shakshuka. But for Mother’s Day, focus on the gift boxes. They include things like dried flower bouquets, dark chocolate-covered almonds, and a mini recipe book written by the shop’s owner. Orders can be placed online ahead of time, but you can also just stop by the shop anytime this week and grab one.

The Hit List: New NYC Restaurants To Try Right Now

If you’re planning to keep things casual for Mother’s Day this year, grab some pastel-colored bagels and a mimosa kit from Baz. Typically, a pink, blue, and turquoise bagel situation wouldn’t be our first recommendation, but these are from one of the best bagel spots in the city — plus they ship nationwide through Goldbelly, so you can still surprise your mom by sending her a bagel bundle even if she lives in Nampa, Idaho.
